I just did so.

Exactly: I don't care for gccbug or gnats in particular, only for a way to
submit email bug submission (just as I can add comments by email once I've
submitted the initial report).

That would be nice (although perl instead of python would be a tad more
convenient since it is probably more widespread, especially on non-Linux
OSes, but a python script is certainly much better than having to go
through a web browser). Especially important is that the script uses
whatever editor I prefer to compose the actual message.

I'm using gccbug since it provides the complete template where I just need
to fill in the beef of the report. All I care for is the ability to handle
bugs completely by email.
Thanks.
